00:00:48,790 --> 00:00:41,270
he

2
00:00:48,800 --> 00:01:38,149
is

3
00:01:42,310 --> 00:01:40,069
good morning canine crew i understand

4
00:01:45,190 --> 00:01:42,320
there's at least a couple of you all who

5
00:02:04,069 --> 00:01:45,200
may remember that show

6
00:02:07,429 --> 00:02:05,910
the robot arm officer here in the

7
00:02:09,270 --> 00:02:07,439
mission control center called the

8
00:02:11,910 --> 00:02:09,280
payload deployment and retrieval systems

9
00:02:14,070 --> 00:02:11,920
officer or pdrs reports that the wake

10
00:02:15,990 --> 00:02:14,080
shield has now broken its seal

11
00:02:18,390 --> 00:02:16,000
with its carrier platform and is in the

12
00:02:20,949 --> 00:02:18,400
process of slowly being raised above the

13
00:02:23,510 --> 00:02:20,959
payload bay into the low hover position

14
00:02:25,350 --> 00:02:23,520
this is the first major step on the road

15
00:02:28,390 --> 00:02:25,360
to the deployment of the wake shield

16
00:02:30,229 --> 00:02:28,400
which is scheduled at around 4 38 a.m

17
00:02:35,430 --> 00:02:30,239
central time this morning if all goes

18
00:02:39,190 --> 00:02:37,190
astronauts jim newman and jim voss

19
00:02:41,750 --> 00:02:39,200
raising the wake shield facility out of

20
00:02:43,750 --> 00:02:41,760
its carrier platform in this view uh

21
00:02:47,030 --> 00:02:43,760
from payload bay cameras uh in the

22
00:02:51,110 --> 00:02:48,949
the wake shield is being carefully

23
00:02:52,150 --> 00:02:51,120
lifted directly

24
00:02:55,110 --> 00:02:52,160
vertical

25
00:02:56,869 --> 00:02:55,120
behind the spartan science satellite

26
00:02:58,309 --> 00:02:56,879
now this view from a camera at the rear

27
00:02:59,910 --> 00:02:58,319
of the payload bay clearly showing the

28
00:03:01,430 --> 00:02:59,920
wake shield facility being lifted out of

29
00:03:03,750 --> 00:03:01,440
its cargo bay

30
00:03:05,190 --> 00:03:03,760
the orbiter is currently tracking over

31
00:03:06,790 --> 00:03:05,200
the pacific ocean

32
00:03:08,470 --> 00:03:06,800
on uh

33
00:03:12,470 --> 00:03:08,480
the wake shield is clear and we've set

34
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:30,390
copy endeavor

35
00:03:35,190 --> 00:03:32,710
again the two-ton wake shield facility

36
00:03:36,869 --> 00:03:35,200
now being lifted to a low hover position

37
00:03:43,030 --> 00:03:36,879
over the payload bay by astronauts jim

38
00:03:47,190 --> 00:03:45,670
this is a clear view of the wake side of

39
00:03:49,750 --> 00:03:47,200
the satellite the

40
00:03:52,390 --> 00:03:49,760
the carousel side where the thin films

41
00:03:55,110 --> 00:03:52,400
will be grown in that canister at the

42
00:03:56,789 --> 00:03:55,120
bottom of the satellite that

43
00:04:02,390 --> 00:03:56,799
looks like the bottom

44
00:04:05,509 --> 00:04:04,470
chemical compounds of predominantly

45
00:04:07,670 --> 00:04:05,519
gallium

46
00:04:09,910 --> 00:04:07,680
arsenide compounds will be

47
00:04:11,350 --> 00:04:09,920
shot into that carousel atom by atom

48
00:04:13,990 --> 00:04:11,360
layer by layer

49
00:04:15,589 --> 00:04:14,000
as thin films are grown over the course

50
00:04:17,830 --> 00:04:15,599
of two days of free flight by the wake

51
00:04:21,110 --> 00:04:17,840
shield once it is deployed by jim newman

52
00:04:25,189 --> 00:04:23,510
this close-up view now showing the wake

53
00:04:28,629 --> 00:04:25,199
side of the satellite

54
00:04:31,110 --> 00:04:28,639
where

55
00:04:32,710 --> 00:04:31,120
shutters will open back and forth or

56
00:04:35,749 --> 00:04:32,720
during the course of the thin film

57
00:04:37,270 --> 00:04:35,759
growth to allow chemicals to stream

58
00:04:41,030 --> 00:04:37,280
through those tubes at the bottom of the

59
00:04:43,189 --> 00:04:41,040
picture into a carousel those tubes

60
00:04:45,590 --> 00:04:43,199
are the carrier panels if you will for

61
00:04:48,629 --> 00:04:45,600
all of the chemical compounds that will

62
00:04:51,590 --> 00:04:48,639
be used to build the thin films the thin

63
00:04:55,110 --> 00:04:51,600
wafer like endeavor with some updates on

64
00:04:57,909 --> 00:04:55,120
wakeshield we're in step three page 2-4

65
00:04:59,990 --> 00:04:57,919
we have sent the bus selection prefire

66
00:05:02,550 --> 00:05:00,000
com channel 2

67
00:05:06,150 --> 00:05:02,560
and we are not getting ages

68
00:05:10,790 --> 00:05:06,160
resetting and incrementing on flyer sciu

69
00:05:12,469 --> 00:05:10,800
pdu sensors and a to d converters

70
00:05:15,029 --> 00:05:12,479
copy underdog we'll look into it

71
00:05:29,909 --> 00:05:15,039
somewhere down list that you apparently

72
00:05:34,390 --> 00:05:32,230
astronaut jim newman now slowly

73
00:05:37,430 --> 00:05:34,400
maneuvering the wake shield facility

74
00:05:40,790 --> 00:05:37,440
from directly over the cargo bay to a

75
00:05:43,430 --> 00:05:40,800
position over the port side of the sill

76
00:06:12,309 --> 00:05:43,440
of the payload bay for the so-called ram

77
00:06:17,270 --> 00:06:14,230
this view from payload bay cameras on

78
00:06:19,830 --> 00:06:17,280
endeavor shows the orbiter approaching

79
00:06:21,909 --> 00:06:19,840
sunrise on the west coast of africa

80
00:06:23,830 --> 00:06:21,919
with the wake shield facility hanging at

81
00:06:26,309 --> 00:06:23,840
the end of the robot arm over the port

82
00:06:29,430 --> 00:06:26,319
side of the payload bay in the so-called

83
00:06:31,110 --> 00:06:29,440
ram cleaning position that has now begun

84
00:06:33,510 --> 00:06:31,120
about a two to two and a half hour

85
00:06:36,070 --> 00:06:33,520
procedure where atomic oxygen will

86
00:06:38,230 --> 00:06:36,080
stream over the wake shield and give it

87
00:06:39,990 --> 00:06:38,240
a bath if you will to remove any excess

88
00:06:41,830 --> 00:06:40,000
contamination which may have built up on

89
00:06:48,070 --> 00:06:41,840
the wake shield during its time in the

90
00:06:53,029 --> 00:06:51,430
all of the free fly or activation uh

91
00:06:54,870 --> 00:06:53,039
operations will continue at this point

92
00:06:57,510 --> 00:06:54,880
the wake shield itself is called the

93
00:07:00,150 --> 00:06:57,520
free flyer the other component of the

94
00:07:05,990 --> 00:07:00,160
wake shield facility is its carrier uh

95
00:07:10,150 --> 00:07:07,589
this is mission control houston at a

shuttle endeavour showing the wake

102
00:07:24,550 --> 00:07:22,880
shield facility as it hangs

103
00:07:26,390 --> 00:07:24,560
outside the uh

104
00:07:28,950 --> 00:07:26,400
the port side of the payload bay of the

105
00:07:33,029 --> 00:07:28,960
shuttle in the ram cleaning position as

106
00:07:36,710 --> 00:07:34,950
but payload

107
00:07:38,390 --> 00:07:36,720
officials and the flight control team

108
00:07:40,230 --> 00:07:38,400
want to make sure that there is no

109
00:07:42,629 --> 00:07:40,240
further interruption of that stream of

110
00:07:44,629 --> 00:07:42,639
telemetry before giving the go to deploy

111
00:07:46,629 --> 00:07:44,639
the wake shield facility this live

112
00:07:47,670 --> 00:07:46,639
television picture now from the shuttle

113
00:07:49,430 --> 00:07:47,680
endeavour

00:07:51,430 --> 00:07:49,440
shows the wake shield hanging at the end

115
00:07:53,270 --> 00:07:51,440
of the robot arm over the starboard side

116
00:07:55,990 --> 00:07:53,280
of the orbiter as it passes over the

117
00:07:59,189 --> 00:07:56,000
northwest portion of africa this is uh

118
00:08:01,110 --> 00:07:59,199
in the attitude and the position uh for

119
00:08:02,950 --> 00:08:01,120
the continuing checkout of the attitude

120
00:08:05,830 --> 00:08:02,960
determination and control system on the

121
00:08:07,270 --> 00:08:05,840
wake shield uh before uh it is scheduled

122
00:08:15,909 --> 00:08:07,280
to be deployed an hour and a half from

123
00:08:20,790 --> 00:08:17,830
okay thanks

124
00:08:23,430 --> 00:08:20,800
the mmd uh referred to uh by astronaut

125
00:08:26,469 --> 00:08:23,440
jim newman aboard endeavour is a

126
00:08:28,550 --> 00:08:26,479
microgravity measurement device which

127
00:08:31,189 --> 00:08:28,560
will be used on the wake shield facility

128
00:08:33,029 --> 00:08:31,199
as part of the data collection

129
00:08:35,269 --> 00:08:33,039
effort that the wake shield will

130
00:08:37,990 --> 00:08:35,279
undertake over the next 50 hours

131
00:08:39,350 --> 00:08:38,000
clear we see charles in busa right now

132
00:08:40,550 --> 00:08:39,360
and

133
00:08:42,630 --> 00:08:40,560
does that mean you want us to run the

134
00:08:58,070 --> 00:08:42,640
start block if it doesn't have a one

135
00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:02,630
jim voss is coming down to the mid deck

136
00:09:09,269 --> 00:09:03,910
and

137
00:09:11,350 --> 00:09:09,279
we've found a use for all of them

138
00:09:13,670 --> 00:09:11,360
at this time uh during the wake field a

139
00:09:14,870 --> 00:09:13,680
few days will actually be and did today

140
00:09:18,150 --> 00:09:14,880
use all of them

141
00:09:18,949 --> 00:09:18,160
we uh had several set up on the mid deck

142
00:09:21,030 --> 00:09:18,959
uh

143
00:09:23,110 --> 00:09:21,040
those two pgscs the one on the left is

144
00:09:23,990 --> 00:09:23,120
the goddard payload stuff and the one on

145
00:09:26,710 --> 00:09:24,000
the right

146
00:09:27,829 --> 00:09:26,720
is the gps the orbiter now has gps

147
00:09:30,310 --> 00:09:27,839
installed

148
00:09:32,310 --> 00:09:30,320
and we're helping those

149
00:09:34,829 --> 00:09:32,320
guys learn more about gps so that we can

150
00:09:37,590 --> 00:09:34,839
when we install gps into the flight

151
00:09:39,509 --> 00:09:37,600
software our flight controllers will

152
00:09:41,190 --> 00:09:39,519
be able to use it the same way they do

153
00:09:45,990 --> 00:09:41,200
the ku band now and the tracking

154
00:09:50,389 --> 00:09:48,470
this is just one of the displays that

155
00:09:51,509 --> 00:09:50,399
they have it shows the satellites being

156
00:09:53,750 --> 00:09:51,519
tracked

157
00:09:55,829 --> 00:09:53,760
and where we are on the earth we also

158
00:09:58,389 --> 00:09:55,839
have a little world map on there

159
00:10:01,030 --> 00:09:58,399
it shows us where gps thinks we are and

160
00:10:03,350 --> 00:10:01,040
it agrees quite well with the orbiter

161
00:10:07,350 --> 00:10:03,360
uh state vector that uh the

162
00:10:18,790 --> 00:10:09,190
on this flight we do have a gps on the

163
00:10:22,550 --> 00:10:20,230
well we're going to show you a little

164
00:10:24,230 --> 00:10:22,560
bit about the rendezvous now here's

165
00:10:27,190 --> 00:10:24,240
part of the team it really took all five

166
00:10:28,949 --> 00:10:27,200
of us uh to do this one

167
00:10:30,710 --> 00:10:28,959
in the terminal phase

168
00:10:31,670 --> 00:10:30,720
two joe's up in the front

169
00:10:33,590 --> 00:10:31,680
uh

170
00:10:36,389 --> 00:10:33,600
rooting procedures keeping everybody

171
00:10:38,389 --> 00:10:36,399
focused and backing me up

172
00:10:40,710 --> 00:10:38,399
well we have

173
00:10:42,790 --> 00:10:40,720
pluto and underdog in the back

174
00:10:44,550 --> 00:10:42,800
underdog getting ready of course to uh

175
00:10:46,870 --> 00:10:44,560
to do the grapple

176
00:10:48,790 --> 00:10:46,880
pluto running the rendezvous tools

177
00:10:51,509 --> 00:10:48,800
a handheld laser

178
00:10:53,030 --> 00:10:51,519
and uh generally helping me out

179
00:10:55,110 --> 00:10:53,040
and then jim

180
00:10:57,590 --> 00:10:55,120
played a vital role trying to document

181
00:10:59,829 --> 00:10:57,600
this and in helping me build sun shades

182
00:11:01,590 --> 00:10:59,839
in real time to try and keep the son of

183
00:11:03,269 --> 00:11:01,600
a son out of our eyes this turned out to

184
00:11:04,389 --> 00:11:03,279
be real challenging with the beta angle

185
00:11:06,230 --> 00:11:04,399
we've got

186
00:11:08,389 --> 00:11:06,240
uh particularly with the fly around that

187
00:11:10,550 --> 00:11:08,399
we had which caused us to

188
00:11:12,310 --> 00:11:10,560
spend a little extra time so

189
00:11:14,150 --> 00:11:12,320
we didn't get as good a video as we

190
00:11:16,870 --> 00:11:14,160
would have liked out of these cameras we

191
00:11:18,310 --> 00:11:16,880
were too busy in the windows

192
00:11:20,310 --> 00:11:18,320
however

193
00:11:21,509 --> 00:11:20,320
we did manage to get the thing aboard as

194
00:11:22,310 --> 00:11:21,519
you saw

195
00:11:24,310 --> 00:11:22,320
and

196
00:11:25,990 --> 00:11:24,320
underdog did just a super job of

197
00:11:27,590 --> 00:11:26,000
grappling the thing because we had rates

198
00:11:30,230 --> 00:11:27,600
and two axes and we weren't able to

199
00:11:32,550 --> 00:11:30,240
adapt them to uh damp them all out we

200
00:11:34,710 --> 00:11:32,560
did get them fairly low for him

201
00:11:37,670 --> 00:11:34,720
and he did a terrific job on the

202
00:11:39,030 --> 00:11:37,680
the capture and here we now see

203
00:11:41,190 --> 00:11:39,040
the final

204
00:11:43,030 --> 00:11:41,200
desired end result

205
00:11:46,069 --> 00:11:43,040
the spartan

206
00:11:47,829 --> 00:11:46,079
settling into its cradle

207
00:11:56,550 --> 00:11:47,839
to be brought home hopefully after a

208
00:11:56,560 --> 00:12:06,949
thanks that was a nice tour

209
00:12:06,959 --> 00:12:11,030
go ahead

210
00:12:13,990 --> 00:12:13,030
yeah i kind of delayed my exercise a bit

211
00:12:16,150 --> 00:12:14,000
uh to

212
00:12:18,310 --> 00:12:16,160
be with you for wakefield um it shows an

213
00:12:19,430 --> 00:12:18,320
exercise period here on the flight plan

214
00:12:21,509 --> 00:12:19,440
followed by some more wakefield

215
00:12:23,350 --> 00:12:21,519
monitoring which i'd be happy to do

216
00:12:28,629 --> 00:12:23,360
um how would you like me to

217
00:12:36,949 --> 00:12:30,230
thanks for asking we'll get back with

218
00:12:36,959 --> 00:12:45,750
that's a great picture

219
00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:48,550
okay well

220
00:12:52,949 --> 00:12:51,269
as you can see we're

221
00:12:53,910 --> 00:12:52,959
you're gonna get a really nice release

222
00:12:56,310 --> 00:12:53,920
here

223
00:12:59,110 --> 00:12:56,320
pluto did a super job of letting it go

224
00:13:02,230 --> 00:12:59,120
without any tip off or anything

225
00:13:06,470 --> 00:13:04,150
you can see he just muscled the

226
00:13:13,990 --> 00:13:06,480
dog face out of the

227
00:13:19,030 --> 00:13:15,670
with his absolutely perfect smooth

228
00:13:22,470 --> 00:13:19,040
release really good job by him

229
00:13:26,710 --> 00:13:23,750
yeah it is it's real pretty

230
00:13:29,190 --> 00:13:26,720
interestingly enough we had trouble

231
00:13:32,069 --> 00:13:29,200
getting laser marks on it at close range

232
00:13:37,590 --> 00:13:35,670
off the uh ram side

233
00:13:47,189 --> 00:13:37,600
i'm sorry the wake side yeah the ram

234
00:13:51,430 --> 00:13:49,350
it tends to diffuse the laser instead of

235
00:14:04,230 --> 00:13:51,440
reflecting it back on that really smooth

236
00:14:07,910 --> 00:14:06,230
this is one area where the real thing

237
00:14:09,829 --> 00:14:07,920
sure beats the simulator all the heck

238
00:14:11,430 --> 00:14:09,839
although the behavior was exactly as the
